These are poems that reflect many aspects of the human condition and the individual, from poems about love and death, the family, science, the natural world and historical figures such as Ned Kelly and Charles Darwin. Her sequence on Ned Kelly (originally published in an illustrated limited edition) is reproduced here for a wider readership.- ... (She) is a born poet...
